With its new Interface Human Machine, ORCHESTRA will help to manage multi-screen and multilocation live presentations with total peace of mind. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS SCREENS : a Screen on the ORCHESTRA is a containing element, which corresponds to a projection surface. A Screen generaly contains a device, such as a Di-VentiX II, an Opus, Opus LE*, Pulse*, Pulse LE*, SmartVu* or SmartVu LE* though a screen could well be composed of several devices, in Soft Edge configuration for example. PRESET : a preset on the ORCHESTRA, is a capture (or a recall) of the state of a Screen. In other words, presets allow to record or recall the state of sources and elements in a Screen at any given moment. LAYERS : a “Layer” is an image display element (such as a Background, a PIP, or a Logo) that has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer. BACKGROUND FRAME : a Background Frame is a full screen image which is selected from one of the 8 memory slots available in the Di-Ventix II, OPUS, Opus LE*, Pulse*, Pulse LE*, SmartVu* or SmartVu LE* . A Frame can be flash captured from any video or computer source plugged into the machine. BACKGROUND LIVE : a Background Live is a live (animated video or motion content) full screen image which is selected from one of the available sources of the slave device. * Available in January 2010 6 PIP : a “PIP” refers to Picture-in-Picture. It is a source (typically of reduced size) that is positioned over another background image or another PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged, bordered and shadowed. They can overlap one another, depending on their visual priority. LOGO : a “Logo” is a part of an image that can be flash captured from any video or computer source, by keying or image cut-out. Logos can be positioned. KEYING & TITLING : a “Key” is an electronic process whereby an image is electronically superimposed over another source or background by masking out either a color (chroma key), or a luminance level (Luma Key) . Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects. ORCHESTRA COLOR CODES The ORCHESTRA buttons were designed with a handy color code to guide users, avoid mistakes, and give a constant status of the device. Thus, all ORCHESTRA buttons have two or three different states (and colors), depending on their function and their current state. All available (selectable) buttons, functions and effects light up green, other than the Source Main buttons which light up in red when available. Any selected button on the ORCHESTRA turns a strong yellow. The TAKE button is indicated in red, and will blink red when active. The ORCHESTRA is comprised of several double-take buttons (CLEAR, CLEAR PIPs, CLEAR LOGOs, CLEAR ALL buttons...) which should be pressed once to activate and a second time to confirm. These will blink yellow while waiting for confirmation. Finally, some of the ORCHESTRA buttons (SOURCE PREVIEW for example) will turn pale yellow when they have been selected, are active, but are not currently being worked with. 7 HARDWARE INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS All of the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated and should be maintained for further reference.

In an effort to make the use of our machines an experience as pleasant as possible, the Analog Way team are constantly aiming to create easy to follow examples, update information, and furnish our website with useful user information. Please check on www.analogway.com. Please see following page for Application Note N°1. 40 41 42 43 SOFT EDGE BLENDING SOFT EDGE BLENDING If you want to do a Soft Edge setup using only one unit, you need to set the unit in “Embedded SEB” mode and connect the Left projector to “Output 1” (Main) and the Right Projector to “Output 2” (Preview). In this “Embedded SEB” mode type of setup, your unit does not have a Preview anymore, unless the unit is equipped with an Optional Video Output Board. In this case, you can use the Optional Video Outputs for your Preview purposes. (Adjust the “Video Out” to the format of the monitor connected to it). If you want to do a Soft Edge setup using multiple units, you need to set all of the units in “Mixer” mode and connect the projectors to the “Output 1” (Main) of each unit. Soft Edge setup To do a proper and clean setup of your Soft Edge, follow the following simple steps. It is important to do the setup in the right order as follows: 1/ Switch ON your Unit(s). 2/ In the “Control” menu, do an “Erase Memories” (on all units). 3/ In the “Control” menu, do a “Default Values” (on all units). 4/ If you do a Softegde with only one unit, in the “Mode” menu select the “Embedded SEB” mode. If you do a Soft Edge with multiple units, in the “Mode” menu select the “Mixer” mode. 5/ In the “Output” menu, set the “Output Format” at the same resolution (native resolution) of the projectors that you use. 6/ Physically align the projectors so that their internal test patterns are correctly displayed on the screen. To do a correct projection, the projectors must be positioned at 90° with the screen in the X and Y axes. You can also use the “Grid” test pattern in the “Output” – “Test Pattern” menu to help you properly align the projectors together. WARNING: Do not use the projectors’ Keystone function to correct image parallelism problems. Using the Keystone will make it impossible to use the Soft Edge Curves. 44 7/ If you do a multiple units Soft Edge, split all of your sources to input each one in the same input # on each unit. (i.e.: split your DVD player to input it on input 5 on each unit) 8/ In the “Input” menu, set the corresponding “Input Type” for each input. 9/ In the “Soft Edge” menu, select the appropriate Soft Edge “Type”: Horizontal or Vertical. 10/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Test Pattern” menu, select the “SE Centering” pattern. 11/ In the “Soft Edge – “Covering” menu, adjust the covering so that the 2 dashed lines of the test pattern line up to make one straight line in the middle of the Soft Edge. If you can not get a perfectly straight line, set the covering to the best possible and then adjust the projectors with their Lens Shift to get a perfectly straight line. 12/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Test Pattern” menu, select “OFF” to remove the test pattern. 13/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Black Levels” – “Level Tint” menu, adjust the “Left” and “Right” menus to get the luminance in the left and right areas of the projection to match the luminance of the overlapping area. This adjustment must be done on a black projection (no sources). This adjustment will be done easier if you are the darkest environment possible. 14/ If during the black level adjustments, thin white columns appear on the left and right edges of the overlapping area, you can correct them by adjusting the Left and Right areas in the “Soft Edge” – “Black Levels” – “Left-Right Area” menu. 15/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Test Pattern” menu, select the “H Grey Scale” pattern if you are in Horizontal Soft Edge or the “V Grey Scale” pattern if you are in Vertical Soft Edge. 16/ In the “Soft Edge” menu, activate the “Blending” menu. 17/ In the “Soft Edge” – “Curves” menu, adjust the Soft Edge Curve with the “X1, Y1, X2, Y2” adjustments, so that the luminance of the projection becomes uniform throughout the projection area (entire screen). 18/ When the adjustment becomes quite good, switch OFF the test pattern and display your background source to do any fine tuning if needed. 45 30 WARRANTY AND SERVICES INFORMATION ANALOG WAY LIMITED WARRANTY All Analog Way products have a 3 years warranty on parts and labor, back to factory, but do not include faults resulting from user negligence, special modifications, electrical surges, abuse (drop/ crush), and/or other unusual damage.
